Animal Expressions 1

I think girls have dreamed of a prince on a white horse at least one time. How about you? When I see horses, I have an upscale image.

Houses seem to be noble but they are often used in negative phrases.
For example,

“High horse” “Horse around”, “Beat a dead horse” and “Hold one’s horses”
 These word’s meaning is like below.


High horse means bumptious and attitudinal.
Horse around means making a scene.
Beat a dead horse means do ineffective things.
Hold one’s horses’ means calming down.



I found other expressions which uses another animal.
I will write some another expressions which use animals again anytime soon.
